Monastic Evangelicals: The Attraction of Ancient Spiritual Disciplines.

Monastic Evangelicals: The Attraction of Ancient Spiritual Disciplines.

Many of us who are referred to as watchdogs have been trying to warn you of this return to the bondage of apostate Roman Catholicism for some time now. Well, thanks to men like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker Richard Foster and his buddy Brian McLaren, a leading spiritual director/guru in the Emergent Church, we now have evangelicals following the antibiblical monastic traditions of the Roman Catholic Church...

Christian Entropy Christianity Today reports:
A growing number of evangelicals—younger evangelicals in particular—are maturing the movement in another way. They are taking their newfound love affair with Christian tradition and the early church beyond the realm of books and talk and into their churches and Christian lives.

Covenant’s Kenneth Stewart noted at the Wheaton conference that more and more traditionally evangelical congregations are now experimenting with advent candles, sampling practices associated with Lent, and marking Holy Week with special services like Tenebrae—an evening service featuring songs, readings, and the gradual extinguishing of lights to represent Christ’s death.
